4 spring onions, chopped

1 onion, peeled and chopped

1 dice size cube of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

½ tsp crushed chilli flakes

1 tbsp of fresh thyme, roughly chopped

1 tsp salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1-2 cups of water or bone broth

Optional: Tapioca flour or arrowroot to thicken

Handful of fresh coriander

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat before adding the garlic, spring onions, onion, ginger, chili, fresh thyme, potatoes and carrots and stir through. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions and other vegetables start to soften.

Add the chicken and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken starts to brown, add the curry powder, all spice, salt and pepper and stir through coating all the ingredients in the spices.

Now begin to add the water, its important you do this gradually otherwise to keep the sauce a thick consistency. Start with 1 cup and then add a little more if you need to. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.

Add the spinach and coriander (save a little for topping) and stir through until the spinach has wilted. If desired thicken with tapioca flour or arrowroot (mixed into a paste with a little water).

Season to taste if required and serve with rice or cauliflower rice. Top with the remaining coriander.
